The increasing energy demand, rise in population, and discovery of new shale reserves are putting pressure to drill at high depths and in deep and ultra-deep water locations. The recent increase in oilfield discoveries and rise in drilling activities, especially for those focusing on crude oil, have been the major drivers of the North America drilling and completion fluids market. In addition, the price trend of crude oil and natural gas will support remote offshore sites and shale exploration.

North America holds the largest market for drilling and completion fluids given the presence of half of the world's oil & gas reserves in this region. The U.S. has the maximum number of shale reserves as compared to other regions. Offshore activities in the Gulf of Mexico are on the rise, supporting companies to expand within the region, due to which top drilling and completion fluids manufacturers are based in North America. The U.S. was the largest market in North America in 2013 and accounted for more than half of the North America drilling and completion fluids market share.
